		  <p class="in">The soundManager object has many configurable properties which set debug mode, determine the flash movie path and other behaviours.</p>
		
		  <p>When configuring soundManager for your use, <code>soundManager.setup()</code> is the method used to assign these options; for example, <code>soundManager.setup({ url: '/path/to/swfs/', flashVersion: 9 });</code></p>

          <p>You should call the setup method before "DOM Ready", which is when SM2 applies configuration and starts up.</p>

		  <p>Below are the <i>default</i> settings for SoundManager 2, which are appropriate for the majority of use cases - you shouldn't need to change them. These parameters are defined and stored in <code>soundManager.setupOptions</code>.</p>

          <p><b>Note</b>: The only property requiring customization is <code>url</code> - this defines the path used to look for the appropriate flash SWF for driving audio when HTML5 is not available. (If not specified, the current working path is used.) Aside from flash-specific items like <code>url</code> and <code>flashVersion</code>, most properties can be set after "DOM Ready" without issue.</p>

		  	  <p><b>Legacy support note:</b> The new approach defines top-level properties in <code>soundManager.setupOptions</code>. The old approach was to assign properties directly to the soundManager instance. Thus, when <code>soundManager.setup({ url: ... });</code> is called, the updated property value is assigned to both <code>soundManager.setupOptions.url</code> <i>and</i> <code>soundManager.url</code>. You can assign <code>soundManager.url</code> directly as with the old method, but it is recommended to use the new <code>setup()</code>-based method for forward compatibility.</p>

<div id="sm2-setup-extra-properties">

			<h4>Bonus: Extended soundManager.setup() Parameters</h4>

			<p>As it is common to configure soundManager properties and related events all at once, you can also pass <code>onready</code> and <code>ontimeout</code> parameters which will be called as if you had used <code>soundManager.onready()</code> and <code>soundManager.ontimeout()</code>.</p>

			<p>You can also provide values from the following top-level soundManager properties:</p>

			<ul>
				<li><code>defaultOptions: {...}</code> (global defaults for new sound objects)</li>
				<li><code>flash9Options: {...}</code> (API feature options specific to Flash 9)</li>
				<li><code>movieStarOptions: {...}</code> (Flash 9-only NetStream/RTMP-specific options)</li>
			</ul>

			<p>The default value is 1000 (msec.) Setting a value of 0 disables the timeout and makes SM2 wait indefinitely for a call from the flash component. If you want to handle flash block-type situations, see <a href="#soundmanager-useflashblock" onclick="resetFilter()">soundManager.useFlashBlock</a>.</p>
			<p>Setting this parameter to 0 may be useful when attempting to gracefully recover from a flashBlock situation, where the user has whitelisted the movie after it was blocked etc.</p>
			<p>Note that when the timeout is disabled, soundManager will not fire its onerror() handler if there is an error at the flash loading stage.</p>
		  </div>

		  <div class="f-block f-flashpollinginterval f-usefastpolling f-usehighperformance">
			<h4 id="soundmanager-flashpollinginterval">flashPollingInterval</h4>
			<p>Setting this will override <code>useFastPolling</code>, and defines the interval of the internal flash timer used for callbacks to sound events like <code>whileloading()</code> and <code>whileplaying()</code>. For example, set this to 200 to have 200ms intervals. This is useful in the case where your callbacks are CPU intensive, or you simply wish to throttle your calls to be more CPU-conservative.</p>
		  </div>

		  <div class="f-block f-html5pollinginterval">
			<h4 id="soundmanager-html5pollinginterval">html5PollingInterval</h4>
			<p>Setting this will enable a single interval that will affect the frequency of event callbacks such <code>whileplaying()</code> for HTML5 sounds, with the exclusion of mobile devices. If null, native HTML5 update events are used. The frequency of native events may vary widely across browsers, and may exceed 500 msec on mobile and other resource-limited devices.</p>
			<p>By default, Flash uses a 50-msec timer interval and this is a reasonable value to apply to <code>html5PollingInterval</code> for desktop use cases.</p>
		  </div>

		  <div class="f-block f-preferflash">
			<h4 id="soundmanager-preferflash">preferFlash</h4>
			<p>This property handles "mixed-mode" HTML5 + flash cases, and may prevent 100% HTML5 mode when enabled depending on the configuration of <a href="#soundmanager-audioformats">soundManager.audioFormats</a>. In the event HTML5 supports the default "required" formats (presently MP3), and <code>preferFlash</code> is true (and flash is installed), flash will be used for MP3/MP4 content while allowing HTML5 to play OGG, WAV and other supported formats.</p>
			<p><em>Important note:</em> Because HTML5 audio has some critical bugs across various browsers and operating systems, <code>preferFlash</code> is <code>true</code> by default to help ensure MP3/MP4 play consistently. If set to <code>false</code> or flash is not available, "HTML5-only" mode will kick in and will apply to all formats. If you prefer 100% HTML5 mode even when Flash is present, set this property to <code>false</code>.</p>

		    <p class="in">Example: <code>soundManager.setup({ url: '<span>/path/to/swf-directory/</span>' });</code> (Note trailing slash)</p>
			<p>For a simple demo of this in action, see the <a href="../demo/template/">basic template</a>.</p>

		  <div class="f-block f-usefastpolling f-usehighperformance f-flashpollinginterval">
			<h4 id="soundmanager-usefastpolling">useFastPolling</h4>
			<p>By default <code>useFastPolling = false</code>, and thus SoundManager uses a 50-millisecond timer inside Flash when polling for updated sound properties such as <code>bytesLoaded</code> and data and event callbacks eg. <code>whileloading()</code>, <code>whileplaying()</code> and so on. With <code>useFastPolling = true</code>, a 10-msec timer is used and callback frequency may noticeably increase. This is best combined with <code>useHighPerformance</code> for optimal results.</p>
		  </div>

		  <div class="f-block f-useflashblock">
			<h4 id="soundmanager-useflashblock">useFlashBlock</h4>
			<p>Flash blockers (eg. FlashBlock, "Click To Flash") can prevent the flash portion of SM2 from loading, which will cause a start-up error with a time-out.</p>
			<p>SM2 historically has kept the flash movie off-screen and out of view, and thus the user could not click on and unblock it. Now with <code>useFlashBlock = true</code>, the movie positioning can be handled by CSS. The initial state is still off-screen by default, but will change to be in view when a blocking (time-out) situation may be encountered. You can also edit the CSS to taste, of course.</p>
			<p>When starting up, CSS classes are appended to the <code>#sm2-container</code> DIV (which you can provide, or SM2 will create and append to the document.) The CSS classes change with the state of SM2's start-up, eg. <code>#sm2-container.swf_timedout { border:1px solid red; }</code> could be used to highlight the movie to the user for unblocking and so on.</p>
			<p>Setting <code>useFlashBlock = true</code> will cause SM2 to wait infinitely for the Flash content to load after an initial (non-fatal) timeout, having already waited for <code>flashLoadTimeout</code> to pass. If <code>flashLoadTimeout = 0</code>, SM2 will immediately go into "flash block mode" on start-up.</p>
			<p>The relevant CSS is as follows:</p>
<pre class="small block"><code>#sm2-container {
 <span><span>/**
  * Initial/default state...
  * position:absolute/off-screen, or left/top:0
  */</span></span>
}

#sm2-container.swf_timedout {
  <span><span>/**
   * Didn't load before time-out, show to user.
   * Maybe highlight on-screen, red border, etc..? 
   */</span></span>
}

#sm2-container.swf_unblocked {
  <span><span>/**
   * Applied if movie loads successfully
   * (flash started, so move off-screen etc.)
   */</span></span>
}

#sm2-container.swf_error {
  <span><span>/**
   * "Fatal" error case: SWF loaded, but SM2 was unable to start.
   * (Flash security or other error case.)
   */</span></span>
}

#sm2-container.high_performance {
  <span><span>/**
   * Additional modifier for "high performance" mode

		  <div class="f-block f-usehighperformance f-usefastpolling f-flashpollinginterval">
			<h4 id="soundmanager-highperformance">useHighPerformance</h4>
			<p>Perhaps intuitively, Flash is given higher priority when positioned within the viewable area of the browser, at least 6px in height (oddly), fully-opaque, visible and displayed on the screen. By default, <code class="in">useHighPerformance</code> is disabled. When enabled, it may noticeably reduce JS/flash lag and increase the frequency of callbacks such as <code class="in">whileplaying()</code> in some circumstances.</p>
			<p><code class="in">soundManager.setup({useHighPerformance: <span>true</span>});</code></p>
			<p>This has made a noticeable impact in responsiveness on Mac OS X, and Safari on Windows; animation lag is practically non-existent (see <a href="../demo/animation-2b/" title="SoundManager JS + DOM + sound demo 2b" style="display:inline" onclick="checkDomain(this)">demo</a>). Because setting wmode=transparent and fixed position has been reported to cause some issues, the feature is disabled by default.</p>
			<p>To be least-obtrusive, SM2 attempts to set position:fixed, and uses bottom/left:0px to stay within view (though using wmode=transparent where possible, to be hidden from view.) It occupies an 8x8px square. If you wish to position the movie yourself or show it inline, have a DIV element with the ID of <code class="in">sm2-container</code> present in the DOM for SM2 to reference and it will write the movie there without positioning.</p>
		  </div>

		  <div class="f-block f-usehtml5audio">

			<h4 id="soundmanager-usehtml5audio">useHTML5Audio</h4>
			
			<p style="background:#f0f9ff"><b style="color:#993333">Beta notice</b>: HTML5 support is in active development. Experimental API bits will be labeled as such, but should remain largely forward-compatible. See <a href="download/#revision-history">Revision History</a> for the latest updates on HTML5 playback support.</p>
			
			<p><code>useHTML5Audio</code> determines whether HTML5 <code>Audio()</code> support is used (as available) to play sound, with flash as the fallback for playing MP3 and MP4 (AAC) formats. Browser support for HTML5 Audio varies, and format support (eg. MP3, MP4/AAC, OGG, WAV) can vary by browser/platform.</p>

			<p>The SM2 API is effectively transparent, consistent whether using flash or HTML5 <code>Audio()</code> for sound playback behind the scenes. The HTML5 Audio API is roughly equivalent to the flash 8 feature set, minus ID3 tag support and a few other items. (Flash 9 features like waveform data etc. are not available in HTML5 mode.)</p>

			<p>By default, "100% HTML5 mode" applies to Apple iPad 3.2+, iPhone / iOS 4.0+ devices and others without flash. In other cases, HTML5 support is tested and if MP3/MP4 aren't natively supported, flash will be used as a backup method of playing these "required" formats. (It is assumed MP3 playback is required by default, but this is user-configurable via <code><a href="#soundmanager-audioformats">soundManager.audioFormats</a></code>.) HTML5 may also enable support for additional formats such as OGG and WAV.</p>
			<p>In the case when HTML5 + Flash are present, Flash will presently get preference for MP3/MP4 because of <code>soundManager.preferFlash = true</code> as HTML5 audio is still buggy between browsers and platforms; where desired, you can set <code>preferFlash = false</code> and in some cases enjoy 100% HTML5 mode (eg., under Safari, IE 9 and Chrome.) For some browsers, Flash will be needed if support for formats like MP3 (not supported via HTML5 in Firefox) are "required."</p>

			<h5>SoundManager 2 + useHTML5Audio: Init Process</h5>

			<p>At DOM ready (if <code>useHTML5Audio</code> = <code>true</code>), a test for <code>Audio()</code> is done followed by a series of <code>canPlayType()</code> tests to see if MP3, MP4, WAV and OGG formats are supported. If any of the "required" formats (by default, MP3) are <i>not</i> supported via HTML5, or if <code>preferFlash</code> = <code>true</code> and MP3 or MP4 are required, then flash is also added as a requirement for SM2 to start.</p>

			<p><code><a href="#soundmanager-audioformats">soundManager.audioFormats</a></code> defines the list of formats to check (MP3, MP4 and so on), their possible <code>canPlayType()</code> strings (long story short, it's complicated) and whether or not they are "required" - that is, whether flash should be loaded if they don't work under HTML5. (Again, only MP3 + MP4 are supported by flash.) If you had a page solely using OGG, you could make MP3/MP4 non-required, but many browsers do not play OGG files natively.</p>

			<p>SM2 will indicate its state (HTML 5 support or not, using flash or not) in <code>console.log()</code>-style debug output messages when <code>debugMode = true</code>.</p>
			
			<h5>"My browser does HTML5, why not MP3"?</h5>

			<p>Despite best efforts, some browsers eg. Chrome on Windows may only return "maybe" for <code>Audio().canPlayType('audio/mpeg; codecs=mp3')</code> and variants; SoundManager 2 will presently assume a format is supported if a "probably" or "maybe" response is given. You can modify <code>html5Test</code> to be <code>/probably/i</code> if you want to be more strict, for example.</p>
			
			<p>Only Safari, IE 9 and Chrome (excluding Chromium?) support MP3 and MP4 formats. Other browsers have excluded them because MP3 and MP4 are not "free" formats. For these cases, flash is used as the fallback support for MP3/MP4 as needed. Additionally, if flash support is present, <code>soundManager.preferFlash</code> means that MP3/MP4 get flash by default as HTML5 is still a bit unstable and subject to bugs across many devices and OSes.</p>
			
			<h5>Additional HTML5 formats: OGG, WAV</h5>
			
			<p>WAVe (uncompressed audio) and OGG (a free/open-source alternative to MP3) are both supported in a majority of browsers via HTML5, so SoundManager 2 will also test for support for these formats. A flash fallback for these formats has not been implemented. Adobe have indicated they will support OGG audio and video (combined, the "WebM" format) in a future release of flash. As of July 2011, no official date has been set.</p>
			
			<p>If you plan on serving OGG media to HTML5, you may need to make a few server configuration updates given the importance of MIME types and the use of certain HTTP headers when serving these files. See Mozilla's <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Configuring_servers_for_Ogg_media">Configuring Servers For Ogg Media</a> for more.</p>
			
			<p>HTML5 is not limited to OGG and WAV, of course, as the system is designed to be extensible. Support for other formats may exist, depending on what built-in support exists, and plug-ins or codecs the user has installed on their system.</p>
			
			<h5>Testing audio format support</h5>
			
			<p>Once <code>soundManager.onready()</code> has fired and SM2 has started, you can check for support via a number of methods. Namely, <a href="#soundmanager-canplaylink">soundManager.canPlayLink()</a> will take an <code>&lt;a&gt;</code> element and check its <code>href</code> and <code>type</code> attributes, if available, for hints as to its format or type. You can also pass arbitrary URLs to <a href="#soundmanager-canplayurl">soundManager.canPlayURL()</a>, which will make a "best guess" based on the extension it finds. In any event, SM2 will return a true/false value from canPlay methods based on HTML and/or flash capabilities.</p>
			
			<p>To see what formats are supported by HTML5, watch SM2's debug/console output when debug is enabled, or dump the contents of <code>soundManager.html5</code> to the console; it will show the results of tests for simple items like "mp3", as well as <code>canPlayType()</code> strings such as 'mpeg; codecs=mp3'</p>
			
			<h5>Apple iPad, iPhone, Palm Pre: Special Cases</h5>
			<p>The "Big iPhone" doesn't do Flash, and does support HTML5 <code>Audio()</code> pretty decently - so SM2 makes a special exception to enable <code>useHTML5Audio</code> when it detects an iPad, iPhone or Palm Pre user agent string by default. Feel free to disable this if you wish.</p>
			<p>iPad and iPhone require user interaction to start a sound, eg. the createSound() and play() call should happen within an onclick() handler on a link, etc. The "security" model here seems to be implemented similarly to the way pop-up blockers work. You may "chain" sounds (eg. create and play a new one) provided it is done via the onfinish() event of a sound initiated by a user, however. The Muxtape-style demo on the SM2 homepage uses this, and will advance the playlist on the iPad/iPhone if allowed.</p>
			<p>iPad 3.2 gets hung up on the "BC quail" HE-AAC example sound for some reason, and endlessly loops it rather than finishing and moving on to the next item. May be an iPad playback bug, as other formats are fine. iPhone OS 4 (iOS 4) does not show this issue.</p>
			<p>iPhone OS version &lt; 3.1 doesn't work, but 3.1 (and possibly earlier versions, not verified) have a native <code>Audio()</code> object. However, they seem to simply not play sound when <code>play()</code> is called, so SM2 looks for and ignores the iPhone with these OS revisions.</p>
			<p>The Palm Pre <a href="http://developer.palm.com/index.php?option=com_content&amp;view=article&amp;id=1741&amp;Itemid=265#using_html_5_audio_objects" title="Palm Developer Center: Audio">supports</a> a number of MP3, MP4 and WAV formats (WebOS 1.4.1 was tested; it didn't seem to like MP3s at 192kbps, but 128kbps was fine.)</p>

			<h5>General Disclaimer</h5>
			<p>HTML5 audio support may still be in flux, and may not be fully-supported or implemented consistently in modern browsers. Be careful out there.</p>

		  <div class="f-block f-wmode">
			<h4 id="soundmanager-wmode">wmode</h4>
			<p>The <code>wmode</code> property is applied directly to the flash movie, and can be either <code>null</code>, <code>'window'</code>, <code>'transparent'</code> or <code>'opaque'</code>. By default if <code>useHighPerformance</code> is enabled, transparency will be attempted by SM2 unless there are known issues with the rendering mode.</p>
			<p>It appears that non-IE browsers on Windows will not load SWF content "below the fold" (out of scrollable view) when wmode is set to anything other than null (window). This will break SM2 as it expects Flash to load within a reasonably short amount of time - so SM2 by default will reset wmode for this case. If you wish to force retention of your <code>wmode</code>, set <code>soundManager.flashTimeout = 0</code> which will ensure that if the content is below the fold, SM2 will not time out waiting for it to load.</p>
			<p>Additionally, <code>soundManager.specialWmodeCase</code> will be set to <code>true</code> if wmode has been reset due to this special condition.</p>

		    <p class="in">Example: <code>soundManager.altURL = '../';</code> (Load from parent directory - note trailing slash)</p>

				  <h3>Sound Object Events</h3>

				  <p class="in">Like native javascript objects, each SoundManager <code>SMSound</code> (sound instance) object can fire a number of <code>onload</code>-like events. Handlers cannot be "directly" assigned (eg. someSound.onload), but can be passed as option parameters to several sound methods.</p>
				  <div>
<pre class="block"><code>soundManager.play('<span>mySound</span>',{
  onfinish: function() {
    alert('<span>The sound </span>'+this.id+' <span>finished playing.</span>');
  }
});</code></pre>
				  </div>
				  <p>Event handlers are scoped to the relevant sound object, so the <code>this</code> keyword will point to the sound object on which the event fired such that its properties can easily be accessed - eg. within an <code>SMSound</code> event handler, <code>this.id</code> will give the sound ID.</p>

This property is updated during the SM2 <code>whileloading</code> event; internally, SM2 uses HTML5's <code>progress</code> event to track changes.</dd>
						   <dd>It is important to note that the buffered values may not always be contiguous and can change, particularly if the user seeks within the file during downloading. With ranges, you can draw highlighted segments on a progress bar UI which would reflect the current "slices" of buffered data.</dd>
						   <dd>Example: a <code>buffered</code> array of <code>[{ start: 0, end: 2 }, { start: 5, end: 7 }];</code> shows a sound that has buffered data for the ranges 0-2 seconds, and 5-7 seconds.</dd>
						   <dd>In order to determine the total buffered data and thus "total percent loaded" under HTML5, you can loop through the <code>buffered</code> array and sum the total of <code>(buffered[i].end - buffered[i].start)</code>. If you want to draw ranges, you can use the start and end values of each buffered item and draw that relative to the total <code>duration</code> (normalized as <code>durationEstimate</code> for flash compatibility).</dd>
						   <dd>Example:
<pre class="block"><code>var i, total = 0;
for (i=0, j=this.buffered.length; i&lt;j; i++) {

						   <dd>Note that under Flash, downloading is always sequential and thus the buffered array will always be a single item with <code>start: 0</code> and an <code>end</code> value of <code>duration</code> (eg., the amount of currently-downloaded "time").</dd>
						   <dd>Additional behaviour note: A browser might download additional bytes of a sound in advance under HTML5, but may only update the buffered state to reflect the newly-downloaded range(s) when the "playback head" reaches near the end of the current buffer.
